Party Like a Pilgrim

Max Weber is surprisingly silent on "partying".

This was an advertisement that ran in the Milwaukee edition of The Onion the week before Thanksgiving. Obviously this ad hyper-sexualizes Native Americans, which, in my mind, is rather tasteless, but what puts this ad over the top is the phrase "pary like a pilgrim". Who wouldn't want to "party like a pilgrim"? When one thinks of fun and partying, forget Hef; John Robinson and William Bradford are the super party animals of history, what with the mandatory church services and all. But there is a pie eating contest.
